Sauna After Workout?

There is a finnish sauna at my gym. I heard that going into the sauna after a workout in the gym helps build up you muscles.
Does Sauna after a workout help build up your muscles?
Is it true or is it just good for cleansing your pores and body?
The sauna takes up some time however and I feel too relaxed and sleepy after the sauna. So, should I go into the sauna after a workout?

My primary goal is not just to bulk up, but to get a good athletic body with visible muscles.

    Nope, it does not do a thing for your muscles. The dry heat of a sauna or wet heat of a steam room only serve to relax you and make your skin healthier. Steam rooms also have the added benefit of helping your lungs. Neither have anything, at all, whatsoever to do with muscle hypertrophy or fat loss.
